[PATCH 9/9] qspinlock,x86,kvm: Implement KVM support for paravirt qspinlock

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Mar 16 2015 - 09:39:31 EST


Implement the paravirt qspinlock for x86-kvm.

We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:

native_queue_spin_lock_slowpath() __pv_queue_spin_lock_slowpath()
native_queue_spin_unlock() __pv_queue_spin_unlock()

We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.

We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.

This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.
